Cape Overberg, South Africa Hot

The Overberg is situated in the Western Cape, South Africa. This untouched haven of mountains, ocean, rivers and spectacular nature is a perfect holiday destination for those who travel, and a sanctuary loved by those who live here.  

 

There are no cities in the Overberg - the region is dotted with villages and towns filled with character and hospitable locals. As you drive over the Hottentots-Holland mountains from the Cape Peninsula, the tranquility almost becomes tangible. The Overberg has an ethereal quality which is perhaps why so many artists have made it their home.

This region of the Western Cape is a relatively undiscovered travel destination and lends itself to outdoor adventure as well as peaceful rejuvenation. There is much to see and do in this beautiful corner of South Africa. Just under 200 km from west to east and just over 100 km from north to south, contained in an arc of mountains, the Overberg has a myriad of contrasting landscapes that contradict its size. 

Its accessibility from Cape Town and from within, along with the divergent experiences it has to offer makes the Overberg extremely explorable.

Many festivals, fairs and sporting events are held in the Overberg and there is guest house, B&B, hotel and backpacker accommodation to suit every taste.
